OPI Alpine Snow in Matte as a base, and Misa Party in the Masquerade (I’ll go home and update this later, swear! :p Photo was also taken with my phone’s camera, and I have better, more glossier pictures on my camera that I will update with as well) with a Bundle Monster stamp.
On another note, I have a huge haul coming up and I’m SOOOOO antsy for it to get here ahhhh. I also crave pasta. Wtf?

Zoya Karina for the red, and China Glaze snow for stamping.
More accurate picture for the color of Karina. It’s a lovely shimmery red.
Ok a question for the masses… Does this remind you of Target? I did it last night, and thought it was brilliant. Then this morning I was looking at it and suddenly realized, FML it’s Target!! Nick disagrees. But he’s being anal about the difference. 😦 I was trying to do a Valentine, maybe February, themed mani.

Been a tad busy, so there’s a backlog of photos to be posted which might result in a little spam. I apologize in advance.
I got this French Duet package from Orly, which I will be doing a little product review comment thing soon but anyway here is my nails, with the “french tip” look… Excuse the messy application, it was extremely hard to clean up! The white french tip polish was v. runny and a lot of trouble for me.
This is my best hand. Anyway after having a few hours on this mani, I felt it was way TOOOOOO plain… Solution? Glitter, of course.
I liked it a lot better after that particular addition 🙂
On a side note… want to see what happened when I decided to forgo base coat?
That’s right, BLUE thumbnail!! 😦 It even went on to show up in my left hand’s french which is shown next…
Frankly it’s still there and this manicure was done last week. 😦 I forgone the base coat because I was in a hurry and wanted to post that Shatter video and well. Shouldn’t have huh!

Guess who came in? That’s right– the OPI Katy Perry collection! I’m so excited for this 🙂
eee~ see what’s peeking on the left? Shatter! I got so excited when it came on I plopped it immediately on an accent finger of my Harlow funky french manicure.
I was a little disappointed– it didn’t do that amazing crackle effect like I’ve seen on other blogs, but maybe it has a different effect on matte finishes? Nevertheless I soldiered on, breaking out China Glaze Custom Kicks and Snow.
China Glaze Custom Kicks. When I photographed this at first for a personal swatch (would you ever be interested in seeing my swatches??) I thought there was something wrong with my camera, or me. This polish is actually a very strong teal green but in all of my pictures it showed up as BLUE. So when I googled for other people’s pictures I saw they had the same problem. Looks like this is just shy 🙂
Edited: Apparently my Flip takes pretty great color accurate videos? Here’s a snapshot, which is a screenshot of what the Flip thinks Custom Kicks’ true color is (and it matches it wonderfully) however blurry.
CG Snow. Pardon the messy application, Snow was very streaky and HARD to get even with.
Thoughts? I love this!! 😀 I need like, 300 bottles of this stuff. For serious.
